Nov 29, 2009 Iced tea colouring with slim to no head. Very malty, nutty nose. Taste is very malty, slightly sweet, and hinting of alcohol. Oily mouthfeel and sits rather heavy. Tastes very much like barley or other grains.

Nov 22, 2009 12 oz. bottle recieved in trade from Daknole- Thanks! Served in shaker- poured semi transparent darkened amber with ruby tints in color, low carbonation, wafer thin white head formed and tried to lace. Aroma of almost a wine like quality, malt, and light floral hops. Hits the mouth with low-wide body, malt is there and is pleasantly laced with caramel, mild sweetness in the middle, finish it warming and awesome!

Nov 2, 2009 This is a nice malty barley wine that is strong in alc but you would not know it. The yeast creates raisins..maybe fig flavors. The hops are not too strong but are nice on the finish.

Oct 30, 2009 Pours a rich, dark amber (w/ lots of yeast sediment) from the 12oz. bottle: Dried red fruits (plums, raisins, dates...maybe even an apricot), sweet malts, and yeast give this beer real character. A masked alcohol presence for the most part. My stomach’s so warm. I only had little more than half the bottle and I’m happpppy. Drinkability: Dangerous and sinful. Rebuy: Mmmyea. #174 on 30102009, DG.

Oct 27, 2009 12 oz. bottle served in a snifter. Pours a beautifully clear copper-amber with a thin tan head that leaves good lacing. Incredible malty aroma, sweet caramel with some dark fruits and a touch of bourbon. Flavor is quite sweet but not cloying. Caramel, raisins, oak aged bourbon. Full body. Light carbonation. Slightly dry, warming finish.
